doc: refactor manpage to use mdoc(7) macros
Like man(7), mdoc(7) is a macro package for marking up computer manuals. The main difference is that mdoc is semantic rather than presentational, providing authors with a full DSL to abstract page markup from low-level Roff commands. By contrast, `man` is minimalist and leaves formatting to the author, who is expected to have a working amount of Roff knowledge. Therefore the use of `mdoc` for marking up Node's manpage is a decidedly better choice than bare `man`. Less room is left for error and mandoc(1) offers very robust error-checking and linting.
